Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – After a brisk morning with lows dipping to 39°F in New Castle and Pittsburgh, western Pennsylvania will see temperatures climb sharply, reaching 80°F in Pittsburgh and even 82°F in Zanesville and Cambridge by late Monday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, cool air at sunrise will quickly give way to a warm, dry day thanks to clear skies and steady sunshine. Cities across the region, including Wheeling, Morgantown, and Butler, can expect highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Light winds and dry conditions should persist, offering an ideal day for outdoor plans, though residents are urged to stay hydrated and keep an eye on pets and vehicles as cars can heat up quickly.
Commuters on I-79, I-70, and I-376 will see no weather-related travel issues today. School districts and local utilities anticipate normal operations with no weather disruptions. The rapid temperature swing is typical for late April in Pennsylvania, but the dry spell won’t last.
